Although I think we knew it as White City open air baths. I think Stuie above is right about the water temperature. I've got a recollection that it had 2 pools, although I may be confusing that with Chiswick open air pools which were also a popular haunt in summer. Lime Grove baths in the winter of course. White City baths were of course replaced by what became the Janet Adegoke Leisure Centre, itself now flattened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-17054003170572349072011-09-10T02:48:18.233+01:002011-09-10T02:48:18.233+01:00I used to go swimming at the lido when I was a kid...I used to go swimming at the lido when I was a kid. By then you had to take your own towels. The water was freezing! There were a few ponds around and about, a few between Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road that show up on an old map. There is so much history around The Bush. I will be going later and am looking forward to it. <br /><br />StuieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
